I thought that Orakpo had a noteworthy game. On the first td he clearly didn't keep contain & he almost looked like he was jogging the play out, then he gets blocked & jacobs cuts back for 6 on his side. He seemed to wake up from that & I noticed him pursuing down the line to make plays on the other side of the field more. He doesn't seem like a vocal leader, but in terms of leadership by example, I think he will be key to the d in that regard next year & hopefully long after. He's one of the few players on the team that seems to really hate losing.

On that cutback TD, Orakpo did not do a good job keeping contain, but it also didn't help that Travis Beckum put not just one, but two hands in his back and shoved him to the inside.
Hall had safety help all day, but the corners were pretty much responsible for everything outside the numbers in this game, so he did his job. Our only incorrect assumption was that Manningham was the only dressed receiver who could beat us.
